BULLDOG STORYLINES & PROJECTED STARTERS

• After a long trip to New York, Louisiana Tech is back home to face Mississippi College. The Bulldogs have won 10 straight non-conference home games and 41 of their last 42.

• LA Tech led from start to finish as the Bulldogs took care of UMass, 76-66, this past Wednesday in the inaugural Icons of the Game event, which celebrated coaching pioneers that broke barriers and paved the way for today’s coaches. LA Tech built as much as a 19-point lead in the second half to improve to 3-0 on the season.

• The Bulldogs were successful again from long range, draining 10 three-pointers (have made 9+ in each of their first three games). They also shared the rock to the tune of 20 assists, marking the first time since 2017 they have had back-to-back games of at least 20 dimes.

• Sean Newman Jr. was named MVP of the LA Tech-UMass game after recording his second straight double-double with a season-high 14 points and career-high 12 assists, which tied for the ninth most in program history. This was after becoming the first Bulldog in program history with a double-double (points/ assists) and zero turnovers after securing 10 points and 11 dimes at UT Arlington. Newman Jr. ranks first in the country in assists per game (10.3) with his 31 total assists ranking sixth. All the while, he has committed only four turnovers, giving him a 7.75 assist/turnover ratio.

A LA TECH WIN...

• LA Tech would improve to 4-0, winning the first four games for the first time since the 2017-18 season.

• Would give the Bulldogs their ninth straight win over the Choctaws. Their eight-game winning streak is the third longest active streak against any opponent.

• Would give the Bulldogs their 11th straight non-conference home win. LA Tech is 104-5 in non-conference home games since the 2008-09 season.

• Coming off a 23-point performanc at UT Arlington, Amaree Abram had another great game for the Bulldogs scoring a game-high 19 points while also contributing a career-high six rebounds and three steals. He is averaging 17.3 points per game so far this season, having scored in double figures in all three games, while shooting a team-best 47.6 percent from threepoint range (10-of-21). He also anchors the team in steals with eight.

• Daniel Batcho was named Conference USA Player of the Week in week one after averaging 21.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game during LA Tech’s 2-0 week. He registered 15 points, eight rebounds, and two blocks against LSU followed by a career-high 28 points (10-of-12 shooting), seven boards, and two rejections at UTA. The CUSA Preseason Player of the Year is shooting 86.4 percent from the field (19-of-23), which ranks fifth in the country. He has also just missed two free throws, making 15 of his 17 attempts.

• Talvin Hester enters his third season at the helm at LA Tech. In his second year, Hester was able to blend in seven newcomers in route to a 22-win season and a second-place finish in CUSA. He will be tasked with the same thing as seven newcomers join the 2024-25 squad, mixed in with six returners (five of which made a combined 67 starts last season).

• LA Tech was picked to finish first in the Conference USA preseason poll, as voted on by the league head coaches. It was definitely not unanimous as five of the 10 conference teams picked up at least one first-place vote and the top three were separated by only four points. This marks the first time since 2014 that the Bulldogs are preseason league favorites.

TALVIN HESTER

HEAD COACH | 3RD SEASON

Talvin Hester heads into year three as the head coach of the Louisiana Tech men’s basketball program. The 19th head coach in program history was named NABC District 11 Coach of the Year and a Ben Jobe Award finalist after guiding LA Tech to a 22-10 overall record in his second season at the helm, a 7-win improvement from year one with the Bulldogs.

LA Tech registered a 12-4 CUSA record, finishing second in the league. The Bulldogs went 8-7 in road games, including a 6-2 mark in league contests away from home which was the best winning percentage in such games since 2013.

They ranked as the top CUSA team in both NET rankings and KenPom while sporting one of the best defenses in the country. The Bulldogs ranked seventh in the nation in field goal percentage defense, allowing teams to shoot just 39.1 percent (lowest in program history since the 1957-58 season). LA Tech held 20 teams under 40 percent shooting this season, tied for the third most in the country. They also ranked 16th in the nation in scoring defense, holding their opponents to 64.5 points per game.

Among the players Hester helped develop were Isaiah Crawford who was voted CUSA Player of the Year and CUSA Defensive Player of the Year as well as Daniel Batcho who was selected as the CUSA Newcomer of the Year. Crawford, who is now with the Sacramento Kings organization, and Batcho were joined by Tahlik Chavez and Sean Newman Jr. as All-Conference honorees, the most in program history since 1985.

He guided LA Tech to a 15-win season in his first season at the helm, picking up his first ever victory in the season opener against Mississippi College as well as claiming the title of the Samford MTE with wins over Alabama A&M, Tennessee-Southern, and host Samford.

Hester brought 20 years of coaching experience back to Ruston, a place he spent three seasons (2018-21) as an assistant coach with the Bulldogs. He departed for Texas Tech, spending one season as an assistant coach where he helped the third-seeded Red Raiders reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

While in Lubbock this past season working under new head coach and Associated Press Big 12 Coach of the Year Mark Adams, Texas Tech put together a 27-win season including victories over Montana State and Notre Dame to help the program make its fifth Sweet 16 appearance in program history. TTU, which had five All-Big 12 selections, was ranked as high as No. 9 in the country and reached the Big 12 championship final for just the second time in program history.

During his three successful years at LA Tech under Eric Konkol, Hester helped the Bulldogs register three 20+ winning seasons. The 2020-21 season saw the ‘Dogs register a 24-8 overall record while claiming a Conference USA West Division title and a third place finish in the National Invitation Tournament. The team received an at-large berth to play in the NIT for the first time since 2015 and became just the second team in program history to make the Final Four.

In his second season in 2019-20, the Bulldogs registered a 22-8 overall record during the regular slate, but the team did not have a chance at postseason play with the Conference USA and NCAA/NIT Tournaments being canceled due to the public health threat of COVID-19. The 22 wins ended up being the most victories of any Conference USA team and of any Louisiana Division I team. The Bulldogs also recorded a 13-5 league record, finishing in a tie for second place.

In his first year with the ‘Dogs, Hester helped the team to 20 victories. Eight of the 20 victories came against teams who also produced 20-win seasons, the most in program history. One of those came in the season opener at Wichita State as the Bulldogs shocked the Shockers, handing them only their fourth loss in their last 76 games at home.

During his two stints at LA Tech, Hester helped coach All-Conference USA selections DaQuan Bracey (First Team), Kenneth Lofton Jr. (Third Team and C-USA Freshman of the Year), and Isaiah Crawford (Third Team twice) as well as Cobe Williams who was a two-time member of the CUSA All-Defensive Team, and Jordan Crawford who was one of five players chosen to the CUSA All-Freshman Team for the 2022-23 season.

Along with stops at Texas Tech and Louisiana Tech, Hester spent the majority of his coaching career in the south, especially in the Lone Star State. He spent time at Oral Roberts, Houston, Texas State, Stephen F. Austin, San Jose State, Prairie View A&M, Texas College, Texas Wesleyan, and North Lake College during his career.

Hester coached at Oral Roberts (2017-18) with head coach Paul Mills where Hester was instrumental in the recruitment of Kevin Obanor who would help lead the team to the 2021 Sweet 16. He also worked for Kelvin Sampson at Houston from 2014-17, helping turnaround the Cougars program which reached the 2020 Final Four. Hester spent one season as an assistant coach at Texas State (2013-14) and Stephen F. Austin (2012-13). While with the Lumberjacks, the team posted a 27-5 overall record and claimed the Southland Conference regular season title.

NEWS AND NOTES

BATCHO MAN

Daniel Batcho was one of the most productive power forwards in college basketball last season, earning numerous postseason honors including CUSA Newcomer of the Year, First Team All-CUSA, and CUSA All-Defensive Team.

He was one of only three players in the country to average at least 15 points, nine rebounds, and two blocks per game (became just the second Bulldog in program history to do so along with Paul Millsap in 2005-06). One of those other two players was Zach Edey of Purdue who was the national Player of the Year. The other was

He was the team and league leader in blocks with 67 (11th most in program history), averaging 2.39 rejections per contest which ranked 10th in the nation.

Batcho also posted 11 double-doubles in 28 games played, scoring in double-figures in 24 of those and pulling down double-digit boards 14 times.

Because of all this, it was no surprise that he was voted as the CUSA Preseason Player of the Year, marking the second straight year a Bulldog has received this preseason honor (Isaiah Crawford, 2023-24).

QB1 sean NEWMAN jr.

Head coach Talvin Hester refers to Sean Newman Jr. as the quarterback of the Bulldogs.

The point guard had a standout season in his first year with the Bulldogs, leading LA Tech and CUSA in total assists with 146 and assists per game at 5.2, which ranked 42nd in the country. He posted a season-high 10 assists at FIU and had nine in back-to-back games versus Grand Canyon and Dallas Christian.

In the second game of the 2024-25 season, Newman Jr. broke his assist record as a Bulldog with 11 dimes at UT Arlington. He broke it again one game later, dishing out 12 assists against UMass (tied for the 9th most in a single game in program history, tied for the 10th most by a DI player this season, and the most by a CUSA player this seasond).

BULLDOGS RELOAD

LA Tech brought in seven newcomers in 202324, a revamped roster that led to 22 wins and a second-place finish in CUSA.

The Bulldogs will have a similar situation for 2024-25 with the addition of seven newcomers again -- five transfers and two freshman.

Amaree Abram | Georgia Tech

Signed with Ole Miss out of high school, choosing the Rebels over Louisvlle, Mary land, Texas A&M, and others

Will Jeffress | Pittsburgh

AJ Bates | Seven Lakes High School

Chose LA Tech over offers from New Mex ico State, George Mason, Sam Houston, Texas A&M-CC, Lamar, and others

Landren Blocker | Little Rock Christian Chose LA Tech over offers from Arkansas State, George Mason, Wichita State, Murray State, and others

Kaden Cooper | Oklahoma

Signed with the Sooners while also considering Kansas, LSU, Gonzaga, and others.

Sean Elkinton | St. Edward’s

Al Green | San Diego City College

Chose LA Tech over UC Santa Barbara, Cal Poly, and Texas A&M-CC

NEXT STAR FROM PORT ARTHUR?

Bulldog fans are very familiar with Port Arthur, Texas.

The city that sits 90 miles east of Houston is the hometown of Bulldog great Kenneth Lofton Jr. who spent two seasons in Ruston terrorizing opponents before spending the last two seasons in the NBA.

LA Tech may have its next Bulldog great from Port Arthur in the form of Amaree Abram (Lofton Jr. and Abram were teammates at one point at Port Arthur Memorial High School).

Abram was a top-100 recruit coming out of high school and has spent one season apiece at Ole Miss and Georgia Tech before now finding himself at LA Tech.

STRONG GENES FOR JEFFRESS

After spending the last four seasons at Pittsburgh, just two hours from his hometown of Erie, Will Jeffress decided to spend his last season of collegiate basketball in Ruston at LA Tech.

Jeffress graduated in 3.5 years from Pitt with two degrees in Psychology and Communications. He was a three-time ACC All-Academic Team selection and a 2024 Academic All-District honoree.

He probably gets his smarts from his parents, in particular his mother, Andrea, who earned her PhD from Yale at the age of 22 and is currently an OBGYN.

Athletically speaking, his father, William, is in the University of New Haven men’s basketball Hall of Fame and his sister, Adrianna, played tennis at Mercyhurst University.

BUSY NOVEMBER

It will be a busy first month for the Bulldogs as they are set to play eight games (three at home, four at neutral sites, and one away) in November, which ties the most in program history. The only other time LA Tech played eight games in November was during the 2012-13 season.

OLD, BUT NOT THAT OLD

LA Tech won’t be quite as old as they were in 2023-24 when they had five seniors, all of which were in at least their fifth year of college basketball (had an average age of 21.3).

The Bulldogs will still be a veteran club in 2024-25 though age wise as 10 of the 13 players are upperclassmen (five are in at least their fourth year of college basketball). Will Allen is the oldest of the bunch at 24 years of age.

FIRST EVER NO. 7

In the summer of 2023, the NCAA ratified a number of rule changes, one of which allowed players for the first time to wear any number between 0 and 99.

For decades, the NCAA had restricted two-digit jersey numbers beginning with 6, 7, 8, or 9.

So for the first time ever, fans will see a Bulldog wearing No. 7 that will be worn by freshman guard Landren Blocker.

NEWS AND NOTES

20-Piece(S)

LA Tech has grown accustomed to putting together 20-win seasons. They did so again last season, totaling 22 victories.

That marked the 10th time in the last 12 seasons and 29th time over the course of the program’s history that the Bulldogs won 20+ games.

ATTITUDE AND EFFORT CONT’D

Under head coach Talvin Hester, LA Tech has adopted the phrase “Attitude and Effort.” In large part, that saying applies to defense.

Last season, the Bulldogs ranked seventh in the country in field goal percentage defense, allowing opponents to shoot just 39.1 percent from the field which was the lowest in program history since the 1957-58 season. They held 20 of their 32 opponents to under 40 percent shooting, which tied for the third most in the nation.

The Bulldogs also ranked 16th in the country last season in scoring defense, holding their opponents to 64.5 points per game.

QUEST FOR 1,500 WINS

LA Tech joined the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1925, thus beginning its start of having a men’s basketball program.

Over the last 97 seasons (basketball was discontinued 1942-44 due to World War II), records show that the Bulldogs have amassed 1,474 victories.

LA Tech is in need of 25 more wins to reach the miletone of 1,500 (as of Nov. 4, 2024).

HAVING TO REPLACE ISAIAH

Isaiah Crawford spent the last five years at Louisiana Tech, including two seasons that were cut short due to season-ending knee injuries.

Despite that, Crawford (better known as “Iso”) etched his name into the record books as one of the greatest Bulldogs in program history. He finished his career as a three-time All-CUSA selection and capped it off in 2023-24 by being voted CUSA Player of the Year and CUSA Defensive Player of the Year (only the third player in league history to garner both awards in the same season).

Crawford could have taken a medical redshirt and returned for a sixth season at LA Tech, but the small forward chose to pursue his professional career and is now a member of the NBA’s Sacramento Kings.

In total, the Bulldogs lost 61 percent of their scoring from last year’s team, primarily due to the departure of Crawford as well as Third Team All-CUSA guard Tahlik Chavez. The two graduates combined to average 30.2 points per game.

WHERE THE 3S COMING FROM?

The three ball plays such a critical role in college basketball. Of the 229 made triples last season, 163 of those were made by Bulldogs who are not on the 2024-25 roster.

Tahlik Chavez, a 5th-year senior last season, was the primary sharpshooter making 80 three-pointers, tied for the fifth most in a single season in program history.

So where will the three-pointers come from this season?

Amaree Abram will be one of the options. As a freshman at Ole Miss, he finished second on the team with 39 made threes while shooting a team-best 36.4 percent from deep.

Another option will be Al Green who shot 40 percent from beyond the arc in his two seasons at San Diego City College, combining for 93 made triples.

1,000 POINT-CLUB GROWS

The 1,000-point club has grown exponentionally over the last decade at LA Tech.

A total of 34 Bulldogs reached the milestone from the program’s first member, George Latham in 1950, all the way until 2013. Over the last 10 years, there have been 11 new additions to the club and at least one almost every season.

It may be a while before another Bulldog eclipses this milestone as no current player is on pace to do so.

LEFTY UNIVERSITY

Louisiana Tech also goes by the name Lefty University given the number of left-handed shooters the Bulldogs have had over the last decade.

This season, the Bulldogs have two lefty shooters -- Al Green and Amaree Abram.

About the CHOCTAWS

Mississippi College, an NCAA Division II team, was picked to finish seventh in the Gulf South Conference preseason poll. The Choctaws went 13-16 a season ago while going 12-12 in GSC Action.

Mississippi College is a private university located in Clinton, Mississippi. One of their notable alumni includes current LA Tech Baseball head coach Lane Burroughs who graduated from the university in 1995.

MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE SO FAR

The Choctaws opened the season with three straight victories, defeating Central State (7365), Albany State (58-56), and Millsaps (64-60).

That winning streak ended on Saturday with a 72-58 loss against East Central.

Mississippi College is averaging 63.3 points per game while shooting 40.3 percent from the field, 28.6 percent from beyond the arc, and 70.8 percent from the free throw line.

RASHAD BOLDEN

Rashad Bolden was a First Team All-GSC selection last season, ranking second in the nation in scoring at 24.4 points per game. He racked up seven games of scoring 30+ points while also leading the team with 133 assists.

Bolden, who has not seen action this season yet, was one of five players named to the GSC Preseason All-Conference team.

THREE IN DOUBLE FIGURES

Without Bolden, the Choctaws have been led in scoring this season by JJ Harris who is averaging 16.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Harris has registered back-to-back double-doubles, including a 21-point, 12-rebound performance against Millsaps.

Tyshun Briscoe and Tremaine Dixon are the other two Choctaws averaging double-digit points at 14.3 and 10.5 points per game, respectively. Dixon has made a team-best 10 three-pointers and also anchors the team with 12 assists.

HISTORY WITH CHOCTAWS

Records show that LA Tech and Mississippi College played 23 times prior to World War II.

The two teams then played eight times from 1945-51. The next meeting would not take place until the 2011-12 season opener, which was the head coaching debut of Michael White. The last meeting was the head coaching debut of Talvin Hester, which came in the 2022-23 season opener.

Streak LA Tech, 8

RUSTON -- The Talvin Hester era began with a victory as Louisiana Tech defeated Mississippi College, 78-61, inside the Thomas Assembly Center on Karl Malone Court.

LA Tech was at its best the last 10 minutes of the first half and the first 10 minutes of the second half, building as much as a 24-point lead over Mississippi College.

The Bulldogs missed four of its first five shot attempts, but then went on a stretch where they made nine of the next 10 baskets. One of those was a three-pointer from the wing by freshman Jordan Crawford to give the home team its first lead of the 202223 season at 13-12.

The points started to come in waves, thanks to the lockdown defense of allowing just two made field goals in the final 10 minutes of the first stanza. The scoring primarily came from the trio of J. Crawford, Keaston Willis, and Cobe Williams as they combined to score 26 of the team’s last 33 points before halftime, resulting in a 43-26 advantage at the break.

Isaiah Crawford, seeing his first action almost a year after suffering a season-ending injury, got in on the scoring early in the second half. The forward scored seven of his 12 points to help the ‘Dogs build as much as a 63-39 lead with 10:53 to go in the game.

LA Tech ended up forcing 22 turnovers, scoring 21 points off those turnovers. Offensively, they shot 46.8 percent from the field (29-62) and 31.0 percent from beyond the arc (9-29). Four Bulldogs ended in double figures – Willis (20), Williams (16), J. Crawford (15), and I. Crawford (12).

The Choctaws shot 23-of-54 for 42.6 percent, getting the bulk of their scoring from Tradavis Thompson who finished with a game-high 28 points.
